Discussion

The data() method returns the value for a property in an object pointer. The property to retrieve the value for is passed as the propertyName argument. If the property doesn't exist, data() returns an empty string. Otherwise, the value of the property is returned.

Example

dim obj as p
obj.first = 1
obj.second = 2
obj.third = 3
obj.fourth = 4

dim props as c = properties_enum(obj,"!F")

dim nums[0] as N

for each prop in props
    nums.push(obj.data(prop.value))
next

? nums
= [1] = 1
[2] = 2
[3] = 3
[4] = 4
